Braided wire coils

[juggalofisher88]

Well heres my pathetic attempt at braiding

You sure you ain't a squid cause i imagine a slippy eel could't braid like that lol

 

[SLIPPY_EEL]

one thing i forgot man, once you have it like that, twist the ends off so the braid doesnt unravel, and grab something plastic, i use plastic handled scissors and run the plastic down the wire while holding the end with pliers, it will tighten it up and push it all in place

or tug on both ends with pliars to pull they loose bit in first before the plastic trick

Well here it is .4ohms 4wrap 3mm ID the wick is real loose though, not as snug as i normally wick my coils. Do you get better results with a snug, or loose wick?

what ive been doing is stretch the wire out with two pairs of pliers, then take flat pliers and flatten the flat side even more.....

dont know if the flattening helps, but i figure that the wick might touch more of the coil that way...idk

Yeah i gotta go to work now i used thicker wick than i normally use but the braid must have loosened up to a bigger ID couldn't wrap tight like normal coils.

I pulled the ends tight after and used needle nose pliers to flatten braid up and what not.

you did a real fine job Fishy, looks just like mine all wrapped up & glowing, i'm impressed

i normally wick loose to snug so long as your wick expands, bulging wicks have worked fine to

just installed triple 26ga... 1/8th id ....5wrap..... .20ohms on the new infinite clt
awesome!!!!
has a little more heat to it than the quad 28ga
i even believe the quad 28ga puts out a little more vapor.....but the quad is at .16ohms and the triple 26ga is at .20
so go figure.....
i think i like the quad 28ga better

 

[SLIPPY_EEL]

Verynice ... its a lot of wire when you go 26g .... imagine a 4 strand


heres a test build i did just to figure out a few thing's...

Diamond coil ,12wrap, 1/16th ID, 0.6Ω...


this coil drew blood

 

[brianc11111]

[SLIPPY_EEL]

[juggalofisher88]

Meh not vaping good at all, i have to much cotton in it lol, and i can taste it. I could barely get the wick in there, i stuffed full as i could. Going to have to take some o
